It is true that there are cyclic changes in climate and overall global 
temperature.  But these (now) are correlated to human activity.  I'm not 
sure which chief idiot you refer to, but a large body of scientific 
evidence accumulated by a large collection of very bright people 
supports the connection between climate change, global warming, or 
whatever one wishes to call it, and human activity.  It is not clear if 
you reject the science out of a general low level of scientific literacy 
that seems to be rampant in the US of late, or if it is some sort of 
bias associated with popular political thought.
